What the vulnerability does
The GLS Shipping for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'failed_orders' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
GLS Shipping for WooCommerce versions up to 1.4.0 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts. An attacker can craft a malicious link that, when visited by a site administrator or user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in their browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in a user's browser to steal session tokens or perform actions as that user.
Potential impact on your site
Administrators and customers visiting crafted links could have their sessions compromised or be tricked into performing unwanted actions.
Conditions required to exploit
The victim must click a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled page that triggers the vulnerability.
